Midsummer Fire Festival Guide

It's officially summer and that means it's time for the Festival de Fuego del Solsticio de Verano to begin! The festivities just went live in Europe a couple of hours ago; unfortunately, those of us who play on US servers will have to wait until just past midnight of June 21st to begin celebrating. At any rate, we have our guide updated with the new loot from the event and are updating coordinates as they come in from those who use our Wowhead client. Most of them are correct in our guide, but a few have been moved with the changes that Cataclysm wrought--for example, the Las Mil Agujas fires seem to have been removed--and we'll be updating them as soon as possible.

Updated Loot Drops

We've previewed these before, but there are updated capes for adventurers and a new Scythe (which does not scale well with Cataclysm's changes to stats, as it only has stamina) from the Ahune encounter and its reward bag as well. These capes look especially nice for alts.

New Bonfire Locations

Many bonfires have had their locations slightly shifted or completely moved with the Cataclysm. Some new bonfires have been added to some heavily redesigned and brand new zones. In addition, neutral Earthen Ring bonfires have been added to three Cataclysm zones (Deepholm, Hyjal and Vashj'ir) which can be honored for 15 Flores ardientes! We'll be updating the guide as much as possible to ensure that we get all of the locations right, so thanks in advance for your feedback! Here are some of the new bonfire locations:

I just can't understand why they'd put a friggin' 700(!) stamina on that scythe and no intellect whatsoever. Last year's version was really nice, this one's.. well, nvm.

It's nice to have this event back again this year. It's a really fun one and there are some neat loot from this festival. :)

But... I just killed Ahune and recieved Cartera de bienes fríos, but it was just plain empty. Is this a bug or what is intended this way?

edit:

No, there are 85 stuff. Actually, it's 353, same level à Zandalari. Ahune has the exact same mechanic as past years, but he has 2.1M hit points now. Fairly easy boss as usual.

That may mean you had all of the rewards, but I'm 100% sure that's NOT intended either way.

I hope i get either the scythe or pet this year, i have not had any luck getting either the past 2 midsummer events. But yeah it seems kind of weird that they would do something like that with the scythe.

As for the bag being empty it might follow the same mechanics as the other events with a low drop chance to get something but a 100% chance to get at least justice points.

No, same as the other bags; he got JP.

Actually, no, I don't. I'm still running after Trozo de hielo, between others.

edit: I already have 4000 JP. I even had an error message when I opened my bag saying there is no loot/it's empty. Let's see if it does the same thing on my DK.

Okay, the list is updated, sorry for the delay :3 And also glad I didn't post this everywhere yet.

Most of the time, your daily bag will appear to be "empty" but in the past you were rewarded some emblems or points - check your chat log.

Only a lucky few get something special that actually appears in the bag, such as a vanity pet or mount.
